Detailed Description Of The Invention
With reference to description of drawings embodiment of the present invention.
Erecting lens array of resin of the present invention by more than 2 pieces on the two sides or one side form laminated the forming of resin lens plate driving fit of many small convex lens.In order to realize erecting lens array of resin, must form face by trihedral at least lens just as imaging.
Figure 1A is the planimetric map that constitutes the resin lens plate of resin lens row of the present invention.Figure 1B is the outboard profile of resin lens plate.The resin lens plate adopts injection moulding to make.The material of resin lens plate is the resin of injection moldable, especially ethylene series resin, cyclic olefine resin or norbornene resin.As commercially available resin the ZEONEX (registered trademark) or the ゼ オ ノ ア (registered trademark) of Japanese Zeon corporate system are arranged, or the ARTON (trade name) of Japanese synthetic rubber (JSR) corporate system, it is characterized in that water absorptivity is low.
The resin lens plate 10 that adopts injection moulding to make, it is microscler oblong-shaped, lens at middle body form the zone, at the length direction (main scanning direction that is equivalent to image transmission) of resin lens plate 10 and direction (sub scanning direction that be equivalent to image transmission) configuration many sphere or the aspheric small convex lens 12 vertical with length direction.Small convex lens 12 form on the two sides of resin lens plate 10.
Outside lens form the zone,, form the above lens of many lens height and adjust at interval with protuberance 14 for the interval each other, summit that makes opposed small convex lens keeps certain.These lens are adjusted at interval with protuberance 14, and in order to prevent resin lens plate 10 in the length direction bending, preferably the long limit along resin lens plate 10 forms.
In addition, outside lens form the zone, the nail trace 16 of the ejector pin formation of injection (mo(u)lding) machine is arranged.This nail trace 16 is the impressions that produce by the nail of releasing formed body in mould for the easy demoulding when injection moulding finishes.
In addition, in the length direction side of resin lens plate 10 (not forming the face of lens) cast gate trace part 18 is arranged.This cast gate trace part 18 is for injecting the trace of the membrane gate that injection-molded resin uses.In the time of long and thin oblong-shaped formed body, establish the big membrane gate of width in the side of length direction, when cast gate injects resin and carries out moulding,, diminish so be out of shape internal stress little, formed body because the same real estate generation type shrinks.
In addition, in the side of resin lens plate 10, fixed part 20 is arranged.By this fixed part 20 and the embedding that is located at the jut on the outside box body, the outside box body of can easily resin lens plate 10 being packed into.Because resin lens plate 10 is rectangles, preferably establishes fixed part 20 in the length direction side of resin lens plate.
The configuration of sphere or aspheric small convex lens 12 shown in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, becomes the staggered configuration at the direction interconnected lens parallel with the outside of resin lens plate.The shape of the board plane direction of lens is just like dimetric situation shown in Fig. 2 A and the hexagonal situation shown in Fig. 2 B.Fig. 2 A represents to dispose the state of square shape lens by the four directions to assortment densely, and Fig. 2 B represents to dispose by six direction assortments the state of hexagonal configuration lens densely.
Moreover, here so-called four directions is to assortment, be meant assortment at 4 direction configuration lens, make and watch 1 lens attentively, 1 limit of other lenses and each limit of these lens join, and so-called six direction assortments are meant the assortment at 6 direction configuration lens, make and watch 1 lens attentively, 1 limit of other lenses and each limit of these lens join.
Quadrangle need not be illustrated square, can select from comprise rhombus and rectangular parallelogram.Sexangle then is not limited to regular hexagon so long as relative limit is parallel.Moreover any lens configuration not necessarily must be dense structure, also can be the configuration of gapped non-dense structure between lens.But from the angle of transmission light quantity, preferred dense structure.
When online scanning optical system uses such resin lens plate, shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, the length direction of preferred resin lens board, be that the main scanning direction of line sweep optical system is consistent with the direction of the distance between centers maximum of small convex lens.
This is according to following reason.The four directions is under the case of lenses of assortment shown in Fig. 3 A, and lens 80 are with respect to imaging light 81, in the most approaching four directions to the intensity maximum of the diffusion light 83 that takes place of the position of lens 82.At this moment, the configuration lens make main scanning direction become the diagram direction of arrow, promptly in abutting connection with the direction parallel of the distance between centers maximum of lens with square diagonal line, can reduce the influence of 83 pairs of imaging light 81 of diffusion light like this.
The occasion of the lens of six direction assortments shown in Fig. 3 B too, lens 90 relative imaging light 91 are in the intensity maximum of the diffusion light 93 that takes place near the position of the lens 92 of 6 directions.At this moment, also dispose lens and make main scanning direction become the diagram direction of arrow, promptly, can reduce the influence of 93 pairs of imaging light 91 of diffusion light like this in abutting connection with the direction of the distance between centers maximum of lens.
Under the situation as above-mentioned configuration, the four directions because the occurrence positions and the distance between the sweep trace of diffusion light are bigger than the situation of six direction assortments, has the little feature of influence of diffusion light to the situation of assortment lens.Moreover, no matter be the four directions, shown in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, all can be the configuration of dense structure to the situation of assortment lens, or the situation of six direction assortment lens.Under the situation as dense structural arrangements, small convex lens become square shape lens or hexagonal configuration lens, and as mentioned above, the square shape lens are favourable aspect the influence of diffusion light.And the hexagonal configuration lens are compared with the square shape lens, and are little at the aberration of lens perimeter part, and have the big feature of transmission light quantity.
Form low reflection tunicle on the surface of the resin lens plate 10 of the moulding shown in Figure 1A and Figure 1B.Low reflection tunicle is the film that is used to reduce resin lens plate reflectivity, can adopt the fluorine resin film.
Moreover, also can form nesa coating on the surface of resin lens plate.If can form nesa coating on resin lens plate surface, adjust the current potential of nesa coating, then erecting lens array of resin charged after, can prevent that foreign matter such as toner from sticking on the lens face.At this moment, it is idiostatic most preferably adopting exposure, video picture technology to make nesa coating and the photoreceptor that adheres to toner.As nesa coating,, can have the effect of hydrophilic coating film concurrently if use ITO (tin indium oxide) film.Hydrophilic coating film can improve the wettability to tackifier.
In addition, the surface of the low reflection tunicle that forms on the resin lens plate at the boundary member of the small convex lens of adjacency, is formed for removing the light absorption film (photomask) of diffusion light.
Fig. 4 A is the partial plan layout of the resin lens plate when being illustrated in zone beyond lens and the concentrically ringed opening portion 26 and forming light absorption film 24, and Fig. 4 B is the partial plan layout that is illustrated in the resin lens plate when forming light absorption film 24 backs in the certain width zone of 2 mean lines 22 of the line segment that connects the adjacent lens center and form opening portions 26.And Fig. 4 C is illustrated among Fig. 4 B because the configuration of lens is not dense structure, exists not have a partial plan layout of resin lens plate of situation of part of lens function between lens.
Under the situation of Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C, preferably carry out groove or the processing of prominent bar, form light absorption film 24 then thereon along 22 pairs of lens of 2 mean lines.Carry out groove or the processing of prominent bar along 22 pairs of lens of 2 mean lines, form under the situation of light absorption film 24 then in the above, owing to form the dividing plate of distinguishing in abutting connection with the imaging space of lens at groove or prominent bar processing part, in lens and concentrically ringed opening portion 26 zone in addition that Fig. 4 A shows, compare with the situation that forms light absorption film 24, can more effectively remove diffusion light.
Fig. 5 A is the sectional view along the A-A ' line of Fig. 4 A, is the sectional view of lens piece part.Shown in Fig. 5 A, behind the residual opening portion 26, form extra-regional part at the boundary member of small convex lens and lens and form light absorption film 24.Fig. 5 B is the sectional view along the B-B ' line of Fig. 4 B.Between adjacent small convex lens, groove 25 is arranged, form light absorption film 24 in the above.The extra-regional part that forms lens on the preferred resin lens board also is processed into the degree of depth identical with the end of groove 25, removes the back and forms lower curtate 27.Surface at this lower curtate 27 also forms light absorption film 24.And Fig. 5 C is the sectional view along the C-C ' line of Fig. 4 A.When the configuration of lens is not dense structure, shown in Fig. 5 C, ditch portion 25 not only, and do not have the flat 29 of lens function between small convex lens fully by 24 shadings of light absorption film yet.
Ditch 25 between the small convex lens that covered by above-mentioned light absorption film 24 forms extra-regional lower curtate 27 with lens, the part of the light of the inclined light shaft of relative lens can be carried out shading.

Parent form in the past has the cross sectional shape shown in Figure 10 A, and method for making is the small convex spherical surface body that constitutes by desired size, scheme assortment resin on glass substrate, opens in the flat 11-245266 communique open the spy.Can adopt following operation to make parent form according to this method.
The glass mask that preparation has the sphere concavity to cheat in one side at its surface coated release agent, makes it dry.Then, the epoxy that drips on glass mask is a ultraviolet curable resin.For the resin that launches to drip, on resin, put glass substrate and push.Thereafter, in order to make hardening of resin, irradiation ultraviolet radiation.Behind the hardening of resin,, can obtain the parent form of the prior art of the small convex spherical surface body of assortment on glass substrate by glass mask is carried out the demoulding.
In addition, open flat 7-218702 communique, also can adopt following method to make the parent form of prior art according to the spy.
The thermoplastic material layer of laminated institute required thickness and middle layer and photoresist layer on substrate.Adopt photoetching process that the photoresist layer is reserved the circular pattern with the diameter that requires, the figure formation of removing other parts.Should the circle photoresist as mask, the middle layer is removed in etching.Adopt the reactive ion etching agent to remove thermoplastic resin with this middle layer as mask, then on substrate, form cylindric resin bed.If removing the middle layer heat-treats, the resin layer surface distortion can obtain the convex spherical surface body on substrate.
(b) Laser Processing
Then, shown in Figure 10 B, vertical 2 mean lines of the line segment at the adjacent small convex spherical surface body center of the above-mentioned parent form of edge connection, scan edge limit irradiating laser.Figure 10 B represents the situation of the dense structure that adjacent small convex spherical surface body is joined each other.At this moment, along the valley line irradiating laser of so-called resin bed.Therefore, partly remove resin, shown in Figure 10 C, be produced on the parent form 40 of the paddy portion formation ditch between small convex spherical surface body.
The degree of depth of ditch, shown in the part enlarged drawing of Figure 10 C, the lowest part (valley line) of the parent form 40 that ditch processing is preceding is defined as benchmark, is more than the 0 μ m, below the 100 μ m.Resin bed can be removed fully up to substrate, can also a residual part.When the depth ratio 0 μ m of ditch was shallow, light-proofness was insufficient, and when darker than 100 μ m, mould is difficult to moulding in the operation of back.When being P with the spacing between spherical surface body, furrow width is below the 0.2P.Width is during greater than 0.2P, and the live part of the lens of the lens arrays of manufacturing reduces, and sees through light quantity and reduces.Among the figure, though that the side of ditch portion illustrates is vertical with the bottom surface, in fact when the injection moulding of subsequent handling, in order to make the moulding product easily and mold releasability, there is the tapering of opening slightly towards the top preferred ditch portion side.And the bottom of preferred ditch is a uneven surface.
Moreover shown in Figure 10 C, spherical surface body forms the small convex spherical surface body of outer edge in zone and spherical surface body and forms extra-regional boundary portion and also process similarly irradiating laser with ditch and process.At this moment, spherical surface body forms extra-regional part also shown in the part enlarged drawing, preferably be processed into spherical surface body between the identical degree of depth of ditch.
